First mini turbo to get in the 12's & site perv

Herefordshire

ive got the chance of buying a rather nice cheap 318 (1995) the only thing wrong apart from some scratches is a topend knocking around 2500revs, this was with the engine quite cold and i havent had chance to warm it up yet

anyone know what could be causing this and would it be cheap to fix?

dont know much (nothing infact) about them but if your sure the noise is from the top of the engine id say it could be tappets or cam if the cam is worn and doesnt have bearing shells it might need a head ?


this isn a question for alexf me thinks

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.
